Could a big puffer bite a hole in pond liner

[JC1]

My puffer has out grown his 150gal tank. He is about 16in so I was thinking of building a wood box about 6X4X3 or 6X4X4 don;t now how many gallons that would be or if I have the space 8X4X3or4 and putting pond liner in it but will a puffer bite a hole in it. anyone try this

I have never tried it, but im sure if he saw a piece of food against the side or the bottom of the liner he could easily tear threw it on accident(and by tear i mean enough to cause a leak)......espiecially if he is a larger puffer

What kind of puffer is it?

You could try putting 2 liners in it. I seriously doubt he could bite through that.

You could get one of those blck plastic molded ones from Lowe's that are a few hundred gallons.....lol

Or look around here for some info on doing a framed, epoxy tank. Numerous people are doing wooden tanks, with a single glass window and sealing it with epoxy/fiberglass resin.

Thought you were going to say that. They get pretty huge, I'd try to make it 8x4x4 if you could. I think tbs suggestion would work best.

I believe that they could I had a big FW pacu chew through one of mine

all the old pacu....not meant for tank life....they should stay in the amozonian where they belong.......

If you can find it, I'd recomend using a piece of inground pool liner. They're alot thicker and able to stand up to alot more werer and tear than a pond liner. Worth a try, good luck.

Do a wooden tank 8x4x4 and seal it with epoxy....
